Using a small camera, they strolled mostly unseen in the streets around, waiting for decisive moments, waiting for the moment when something unexpected, touching or funny could be captured in the picture. At the same time, the two photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson and Heinz Held mostly remained unnoticed by the per­sons pho­to­graphed.
In the exhibition, pictures from their works are shown: pictures of people in the museum or in the city, in everyday situations, at the decisive moment.
